The Look of the Turtles

[Alex_Spider]

i'm surprised it is not as horrific as I expected it to be. All in all seems pretty good, except from those stupid sunglasses and the necklace

Lol!!

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I like it. The hoodie wrapped around his waist is a cool touch.

 

[Zaron]

This is so hideous I can't even get mad. I may even see this in theaters now. Train wreck of the year.

[Lencho01]

I don't like it.

 

[smidders]

I can't stop laughing at this, I was excited for the movie but this looks ridiculous. I might just watch it for a laugh if they end up looking as bad as I'm imagining.

More to the point that second picture never makes the claim to be a turtle, it's very clearly a halloween mask on a human...
see google, under mass produced children's costumes:

Anyways, I very curious to see how the eyes will come together, a costume can never do that stuff justice.

Them's some sweet dick suckin' lips

Humanimal I am with you, buddy. I'm really nervous to see Shredder, the rest of the Turtles, and Splinter now. I STILL don't understand the need for giving them clothes and when fighting... wouldn't Mikey's hoodie fall off his waist? Why does Mikey need a tattoo or need to be turned into a surfer nut? He's fine just having the chill, party dude voice and personality without resorting to those extremes. Granted, "TMNT 3" he was wearing surfer shorts, but it wasn't throughout the film.

It's bad enough Shredder is now a white man named Eric Sacks but some of the other changes let alone furniture made out of pizza boxes just reeks of stupidity IMO.

To think, too, this is being done by Nickelodeon who has a decent enough reboot of the TMNT on their network, why they would sign off on this change or that change, let alone Eastman himself, is beyond me.

Somewhere Laird is shaking his head and going, "WTF, people?!?"

It's for a freaking Halloween Costume


Seriously wait for an official pic before you start saying train wreck and all that nonsense

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

louiebling$ I 100% agree with that statement, and amazing avvy by the way

 

[Quasimod0]

I wouldn't want the turtles to look just like the cartoon or comic versions. Not in a live action movie with today's technology. The cartoony look was fine for the first live action movie with the real suits, but with all the mo-cap and everything we have nowadays, it makes sense to make their faces able to be more expressive. I don't mind an update.

 

[onDgrind]

Its Mikey, could be Mikey just being silly in a scene in the movie, who knows?

So why do you think the turtles will wear clothes throughout the entire movie? I like the furniture made of pizza boxes. They are teenagers who like pizza and it's not like they can exactly go to a furniture store and buy a couch and stuff. Chill and wait to see how things pan out before jumping to conclusions

So the Turtles are supposed to embrace every aspect of being human accept for the clothes part huh? They should just internalize all the influences they've had to mold their unique personalities. Makes sense.

 

[Zaron]

I think it's pretty obvious that since this costume matches the description of the action figures perfectly that this is the look we'll be seeing for the majority of the film. They wouldn't bother putting out costumes AND action figures referencing a single scene.

Come on...dont be crazy. Of course that's EXACTLY what they are supposed to do!!! Rats wear clothes, not turtles

I always looked at the Splinter wearing clothes thing as a remnant of his human days. That turtles were never human, so they never felt the need to clothe themselves, but Splinter spent most of his life as a human and thus being naked feels weird to him despite being covered in fur. Of course, being that this is the cartoon origin I'm describing and not the original comic origin kind of blows my theory to pieces, but it's the way I saw it as a kid when I watched the cartoon.

Yeah, but - some children's Halloween costumes actually look good and are very faithful to the source material:

What about when you watched the movies? He was never human in the movies.

I get what you're saying, I'm currently watching the cartoon right now. But I think that they are taking bits from the cartoon and bits from the comics...I mean it's obvious. I think they are using the reincarnation storyline where they were once all humans, which is why Shredder is named Eric Sachs and not Oroku Saki. Maybe he uses that name at some point in the movie...I hope he does anyway.

Also a damn good point
